hi & welcome aaron

yep, i can only reiterate what amor said - this forum is great, and has been a wonderful find, for me.

i'll look out for your posts, particularly on the anxiety issue, as i've had experience of it myself, and have more or less overcome it via self help.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas.

Glad to hear people have overcome issues etc cos at this moment in time it feels as though it may never get better.

Glad to hear it can get better.

Speak to you soon

Hello Aaron and welcome to the forum!!

We can talk about the anxiety and depression
which accompanies Crohn's if you like.
Or any other aspect of the disease.
I've been on the drugs you are now on
and they did bring it under control over a period of time.

Any questions you have, rants, or to just hang out and read through the forums,
go right ahead.

Someone is usually around to help with a suggestion.

Our little place on the Internet is yours as well.

So once again welcome!!

Healing hugs~Nancy

Hi Aaron.. Welcome to the forum. Are you really depressed, or just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? and, facing a disease like this can cause high anxiety in anybody. one would have to be a fool not to experience highs, lows, worries, etc.

anyway, welcome once again. Give both the drugs and yourself some time to adjust

Kev,

i think you have hit the nail on the head about whether its depression or not. I do think that it is being so fed up about feeling this way all the time.

Having some stress with my employers at the moment due to having troubles travelling etc. so thats maybe causing alot of the feeling.

Thanks for your comments and warm welcome lads/ladies

Aaron
